During our teen years we are faced with much transition and change, both practically and physically. Along with navigating new social dynamics and more demanding academics, teens also become more aware of family situations. As this awareness grows teens become more impacted by their individual relationships as well any conflicts happening between others, and it is so important they are able to express their emotions safely through this challenging stage of life.
As we enter the middle ground between child and adulthood there is tension between still needing guidance and care, while also desiring to having independence and freedom. Even teens with the most present and supportive adults benefit from having a space outside of their social and family circles to figure out what they are feeling, who they are, and how to relate to others. From handling a divorce, to social anxiety, to simply fearing the future, therapy can help support any difficulty a teen may face.
